Our mission
To relentlessly pursue an equitable world for every child.
UNICEF USA supports UNICEF’s global work for children through fundraising, advocacy and education in the United States
From the youngest of Trick-or-Treaters, to school club members, marathon runners, UNITERs, celebrities, civic leaders, companies, Child Friendly Cities and more — young people, families, professionals and communities across the United States share an unwavering commitment to protect every child’s rights and future.
These supporters work together, with UNICEF USA, to advocate and fundraise for lifechanging and lifesaving care for children worldwide. From the help of individuals in the United States, UNICEF USA is consistently the top national committee that funds UNICEF's work for children.
